Stephen A. Smith: “I owe this man an apology. I am grateful for what you’ve done for this (New York) city… you won’t be hearing any doubts from me anymore my brother.”
Jalen Brunson: “We’ll see about that.”

@stephenasmith reacts to the Knicks Finals' victory 🏆 🔥
Magic Johnson on how special this Knicks team is:
Magic: “I don’t wanna hear no talk about Giannis, or no other player coming to this team. This is a great team. I’ve watched a lot of basketball. The way these guys love each other. Play for each other. Pull for one another. You’re not gonna see this anywhere else. The, grit, the toughness that’s how they beat you. Together.”
Stephen A: “You’re telling me, this team, as presently constructed, you wouldn’t change—”
Magic: “Nope.”
Stephen A: “Even if they don’t win the Finals, no changes?”
Magic: “You keep em together and make small changes. This team knows how to play so well with each other. And off of Brunson. Everybody is comfortable in their role. KAT could start for another team tomorrow. OG can go to another team and be a star. But he’s good to play his role. Bridges too. And Hart, no 2 guard rebounds like Josh Hart. So you’ve got the pieces, and they’re all happy.”
Stephen A: “But—”
Magic: “Now, if you trade for Giannis, how many dudes you gotta give up just to get him? It’s a different team now. The whole team changes.”
Stephen A: “That’s true.”
Magic: “This team. I love this team. I love the Knicks. They play basketball right. Don’t change.”
"I just felt a calm and a peace that had to come from the woman above (his mom)…I felt like I was a kid getting ready to go play my Saturday AAU games and Sunday AAU games. In a way, I felt like I was seeing her in the stands”

Dave Filoni on his philosophy with Darth Vader in 'Maul - Shadow Lord' 🔴
“The key to Vader for me is that he’s not Anakin. He doesn’t recognize that. He can’t. Anything that reminds him of Anakin, he’s going to destroy. So when he sees a Jedi, he’s going to destroy the Jedi, because the Jedi would remind him unconsciously or consciously that he betrayed all of his friends and everything he knew and the life he grew up with. For what? For nothing. He lost everything. He made a bad trade. He was lied to. He was deceived. He can’t accept that truth. So he’s even farther down the path than Maul"
“Maul is struggling to let go of hate... but Anakin got consumed by it. If he were to face what he did, it would destroy him more. I find a lot of pity for him because of what he did and the depth of his treachery. And that’s Darth Vader. Anakin’s trapped in there somewhere, and Darth Vader won’t let him surface. And so to me, the key is not to actually give him a character. He’s devoid of it because he doesn’t care. Darth Vader does not care. He does not have compassion. He does not see you. He sees the thing he wants to destroy, and he will do that. It’s like the same feeling you got in Rogue One when he comes down the hallway. He doesn’t talk to those guys. He’s going to destroy them. He has one mission, and all of his remorse and all of his anger and all of his hate is in every swing that he does. That’s how it’s resolved"
